Made by two young professionals from London who are waaaaay too obsessed with FPL, much to the consternation of our other halves.

It’s just after Gameweek 1 and we pick over the wreckage of the opening weekend through the lens of optimism, looking at a few picks we and maybe a few of you made and why we should look on the bright side. We also look at a few new joiners to the Premier League since the last pod on deadline day.
We also see the return of our features section, which covers:

All England: keeping track of our team of All-English players this year
Finally, we take some questions from the community.
League codes are:

We’re back for our final pod of the preseason joined by FPL Stag, whom we’re also collaborating with on twitter for our Preseason Previews.
Here, it’s not the ten commandments but nine unwritten rules of FPL that we debate the merits of, as well as talking in depth about how rotation may become part and parcel of our game.
We also talk All England, Zombie League and our teams, too.
Enjoy – and all the very best of luck on Gameweek 1!

In a game largely dominated by interest in attacking assets, optimising defensive coverage is an oft-overlooked component of FPL strategy. By Vladminir Belochkijn for the Noun Project Many managers choose to target their front eight with early season transfers, hoping to jump on the next mid-priced...

Whilst we initially weren’t too sure about doing this, with us initially thinking the idea of forcing an equivalence between this year’s prices and last year’s prices would be wrong. Our thinking here was that the underlying...

A lot has been said about Mo Salah’s effective ownership (i.e. overall ownership + captaincy) going into Gameweek 1 this year. We expect it to be loitering around 100% with many, including Nick and Tom on their L-W Podcast, suggesting that going without him as a risk too far. My...

Certainly, there could be more twists to come in terms of transfers, but at this point we already have a plethora of options to weigh up. There are three contributing factors to the options being so abundant: Players being downgraded from higher price brackets. This is most apparent in...

http://whogottheassist.com/goalkeeper-choice/#respondWed, 25 Jul 2018 19:02:29 +0000http://whogottheassist.com/?p=2847The question of how much we spend on our goalkeeper duo at the start of the season rears its head each campaign. This time round, there appear to be a few combinations that are in the mix, but the debate seems to boil down to if it is worth paying for a premium keeper, or is a 4.5 goalkeeper enough? There are many permutations beyond this (e.g. rotation v the “king and heir” such as...
